Rating: Summary: No plot and gladly so Review: All I can say is, I'm sooo glad this movie doesn't pretend to be anything that it isn't. Who cares about the storyline? Racing and stories don't mix, that's not what this movie is trying to do. It's about linking a load of fast-paced shots of burning rubber, violent machinery, noise and loud music and it does one hell of a job at it!
Rating: Summary: Not really good on any level Review: There are some flashy scenes with the Japanese cars, but that's not enough to hold this turkey up. The chase scenes in Bullitt and the French Connection are still unchallenged. This is an teenage fantasy movie. That's the only way you can explain the glaring implausabilities. This doesn't explain the bad story, weak script, and boring chase scenes. I was hoping for better brain candy, but came up snake eyes.
Rating: Summary: great movie for teens Review: this is a great movie if you are under 25. it has everything teens look for in the movie. (and paul walker's pretty cute) this movie is worth your time, even if you just rent it. i actually learned something about cars, being a teenage female, i know nothing about cars or racing but learned a little from the movie. and ja rule's small part was pretty cool.
Rating: Summary: Give the Kids A Break! Review: Ok guys. I'll make this quick. The Fast and The Furious lacks a plot, has crappy acting, and is incoherent in places. Yet I gave it four stars. You might think I'm out of my mind.Who cares? This is a movie based around cars, not people. The cars are amazing. They add crucial substance to this movie. Seeing the cars move (from the S2000 to the Jetta and so on) is exciting. Thanks to them, this movie is great. But wait! If you're still gonna complain about this movie, get something like Gone in 60 Seconds (the one with Nick Cage). It's a lot deeper and is actually humorous in places. On the other hand, if you liked this movie (as I do) and enjoy the cheap thrills of car chases (as I do) get the original Gone in 60 Seconds (the Original, not the '90s remake). You get the same style thrills. It's all cool.

Rating: Summary: Beyond Pooh, & I Ain't Talkin' Winnie Review: How about this? Why don't we all make a pact not to indulge the Hollywood waz-machine, until the businessmen there stop treating us like hormone-driven teenagers. Okay, I'm guilty of sitting through this, and the guilt alone should take a year off my life. But in a day and age when films like American Beauty and Fight Club can fall into the mainstream, doesn't this kind of high-polished and soul-eating flick seem very outdated? One can only hope so.
Rating: Summary: This is the best Movie EVER Review: This is the best movie it is almost the exact lifestyle minus the truck jacking and drive-bys.
Rating: Summary: Quit Whining Review: I think it is sad that these people writing these reviews are so mad and critical about a movie that was created for the sole purpose of portraying an underground car club. Have you ever heard of FICTION????? It's an interesting concept where people ignore their dismal, ordinary lives and actually try to enjoy a movie about fast cars and hot women. I know that it's hard to do this when you are driving a primer-spotted metro, but seriously, where has the sense of adventure and imagination gone. If you ever had the experience to drive a car like the ones in this movie, you wouldn'd know what do do. You have to respect the workmanship that went into these cars and the imagination that went into the customization of them. I happen to know from experience that a modified fuel injected V6 or 4-cylinder can outrun most carbourated V8's. To the reference about the V8's doing wheelies, it's a combination of rear-wheel drive and POWER. Please don't criticize things that you know NOTHING about!
Rating: Summary: Horrible Review: This is truly a bad film, reflecting certain issues and segments of our society that are truly lost and hopeless, not to mention criminal. I hope the cast and crew were well paid for their efforts. It's highly contrived and very juvenile. If not for the innovative and somewhat inspiring race scenes, this movie would be a complete waste of money, time and effort. Don't waste your time.
Rating: Summary: Huh? Review: Anyone who thinks this movie represents even the look (much less the technical side) of real street racing obviously has never done it, been near it, and knows nothing about the laws of physics (Hint: time and space do not warp around you at 140mph, even if those jokes of cars could reach those speeds in the time they represent). I won't even say anything about the souless and silly plot of the movie because frankly it should just be expected, when the formative idea for your movie seems to have been neon paint jobs. Do yourself a favor, instead of watching this movie, go and buy a ticket to an amateur street race track. There you can see real cars and real drivers, who put some heart into their vehicles and do not need special effects to help them along. The one star is for the 69' Charger, which is certainly 2 minutes worth seeing, but I am afraid even something as beautiful as that can't save this movie.
